Sex Idol Antonella: Now there's a video!

The Antonella Barba sex photo scandal was overshadowed for a few hours by the Oscars® hoopla, but we kept you up-to-date over the weekend as the story jumped to the "mainstream" international news media (wouldn't you know, all it took was a little oral sex). And now that we're into a new work week, new photos of the American Idol contestant continue to be doled out by whatever forces are behind the move to turn the would-be singing star into the next Porn Idol. (Catch up with the coverage here.)

We're waiting for the other shoe to drop from Idol producers. On Friday, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said he hadn't seem the most explicit (NSFW) sex photos, but expressed sympathy for Antonella, on the asssumption that she did not expect her private photos to be made public (though some had apparently been posted on her own web pages).We expect that to change. We'll keep you updated. See the latest photo collection here and here. NSFW!

"Sad, funny, undeniably authentic, Tabloid Baby tells the tale of what befell too much of mainstream television news over the past couple of decades as the bad drove out the good."
--Mike Wallace, 60 Minutes

"Burt was there for the birthing of tabloid, he became the heart of the genre, and now he's written the bible."
--Maury Povich

"Dear Burt: While you always had quite a flair for the dramatic, you never had much regard for the truth... Apparently you can't be bothered to read anything carefully. Maybe that is why you, like O'Reilly, make half your crap up.
Glad to hear you finally got sober." -- Barry Nolan, 04.12.08
